[Verse]
    G                     C
Why is it that as we grow older and stronger
    G                  C
The road signs point us adrift and make us afraid
            Am                          Em
Saying You never can win Watch your back Where's your husband
     Am             Em           C       D
Oh I don't like the signs that the signmakers made

       G                          C
So I'm going to steal out with my paint and brushes
     G                         C
I'll change the directions I'll hit every street
         Am                      Em
It's the Tinseltown scandal the Robin Hood vandal
    Am           Em              C
She goes out and steals the King's English
           D
And in the morning you wake up and the signs point to you
They say
 G                            C
I'm so glad that you finally made it here
             G                   C
You thought nobody cared but I did I could tell
     G                         C
And This is your year and It always starts here
       Am      Em     C      D      G    C    G    C
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh You're aging well

     G                        C
Well I know a woman with a collection of sticks
          G                          C
She could fight back the hundreds of voices she heard
              Am                           Em
And she could poke at the greed she could fend off her need
         Am        Em               C              D
And with anger she found she could pound every word
    G                                 C
But one voice got through caught her up by surprise
          G                            C
It said Don't hold us back we're the story you tell
       Am                    Em
And no sooner than spoken a spell had been broken
        Am       Em            C
And the voices before her were trumpets and tympani
D
Violins basses and woodwinds and cellos singing

 G                              C
We're so glad that you finally made it here
            G                    C
You thought nobody cared but we did we could tell
               G                               C
And now you'll dance through the days while the orchestra plays
          Am    Em       C       D     G
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh you're aging well

C G C Am Em Am Em C D

         G                   C
Now when I was fifteen oh I knew it was over
    G                       C
The road to enchantment was not mine to take
            Am                        Em
Cause lower calf upper arm should be half what they are
      Am           Em            C          D
I was breaking the laws that the signmakers made

    G                       C
And all I could eat was the poisonous apple
    G                        C
And that's not a story I was meant to survive
      Am                          Em
I was all out of choices but the woman of voices
    Am               Em          C
She turned round the corner with music around her
    D
She gave me the language that keeps me alive she said

 G                            C
I'm so glad that you finally made it here
         G                         C
With the things you know now that only time could tell
        G                         C
Looking back seeing far landing right where we are
          Am   Em       C        D         Am   Em       C         D
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh you're aging oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh and I am aging
   Am   Em        C          D     G      C      G
oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh aren't we aging well
